| Message | Thanks for educating people about gynecomastia. My breasts began growing in early puberty but no doctor ever commented on it. I was tremendously relieved at age 37 to find out what the condition was called and to learn that others had shared my experience (people stare, people give you advice to lose weight even though losing weight didn't change my breasts, gaining weight didn't make me look more proportioned, lifting weights made my breasts appear more prominent). At age 38 I asked my doctor about it, then had medical tests that revealed it was idiopathic (no known cause) and I went for surgery using ultrasonic assisted liposuction (UAL). I had realistic expectations going into surgery and the result of the surgery is that I now look average for my age. My pointy breasts are much reduced and the surgery took almost two inches off my chest which given my size is significant. I feel much better about myself and I walk with more confidence. The decision to have surgery is a personal choice and it is expensive, but I am so pleased with the result that I wish that I had done this years ago! |

| Message | Charles, Thankyou for having the courage to make this film. Like all the young people who appeared in your film, I don't have too many problems other than gynaecomastia, but it is severely holding me back in every area of life. I am very grateful to you and to all who appeared in your film, I feel you have done the world a great service. Your film has given me the courage to talk to my doctor about having surgery. I wish you and your friends all the best. Best Regards, Matthew |
